This is the Lakewood Public Address System. This is not a test like the one we had last week. I repeat, this is not a test. The Western Hill Fire is spreading toward Lakewood much quicker than we had expected. Currently, we expect the fire to come within twenty miles of Lakewood by six o'clock this evening. We are therefore requiring all residents to leave this area immediately. Springfield to the north, Point Cabina Station to the east, and Galveston to the south are all in the safe zone. It will take less than thirty minutes to drive to any of these towns. Take as many things as you can fit in your car, but do not delay. We have orders from the state police to make sure that the entire town of Lakewood is empty by five o'clock today. You have plenty of time to get all your family members, pets, and belongings together, so there is no need to panic. Stay calm, but get started as soon as possible.
17．When will the fire arrive close to Lakewood
A．By six o'clock in the evening.
B．By five o'clock in the evening.
C．By six o'clock in the morning.

Today's teens are still going through the same physical and emotional transitions (过渡) older generations had, but they're also burdened with pressures we never could have imagined even several years ago—from the cruel separation caused by social media to the terrifying impact of climate change. In the face of all this, how can teens overcome these challenges While there're no simple answers to this question, part of the way forward is learning self compassion.
Self compassion means treating yourself with kindness and support when you're having a hard time, being aware of difficult emotions and recognizing they're a normal part of life. This may sound like no big deal, but actually, most of us do the opposite. When something's happened that makes us feel bad, for example, we tend to be overly self critical, often assuming that whatever happened was our fault.
In a recently published study, my colleagues and I taught one group of teens the Mindful Self Compassion for Teens (MSC T) program. Eight sessions were designed to help them be more supportive and compassionate to themselves. Another group learned a healthy lifestyle course that included sessions on nutrition, exercise, sleep and healthy social media use.
In our study, all the teens were exhibiting some anxious symptoms. The results showed that after six months, teens in the self compassion group were over 2.5 times less likely to develop full blown anxiety compared to teens in the healthy lifestyle group, suggesting the self compassion course protected the teens from getting more anxious.
Although we can't determine how self compassion is protective, we suspect it has to do with teens developing an understanding of common humanity. In one class, a teen said, “Whatever you're feeling, you're not alone in it. Somebody else will feel the same way, and will know where you're coming from.”
Self compassion won't solve all teens' problems. But it'll give them a new way to approach their problems without blaming themselves. As one teen said to me after taking a self compassion course, “You know, it's changed the way I look at myself and the world.” And that can make all the difference.

My dad is a car mechanic, which involves lots of heavy lifting, tightening, shaking, and banging. He doesn't seem like the kind of guy who would bake great bread, but he is and he does. The shop where Dad works is not equipped with enough workers, so there's lots of pressure on Dad.
I've been feeling kind of stressed out myself since I found out I didn't qualify for the swim team. Now I'll have to wait a whole year to try out again; that might as well be a million years.
Dad knew I was feeling pressure. Last Saturday he said it was time for me to help in the kitchen. I couldn't imagine what help I could offer. Still, I followed right behind him.
Dad gave me an apron, got out his enormous stainless steel mixing bowl, and told me to stir while he added the ingredients. When I had stirred the flour and milk mixture into a thick lump (块), Dad had me turn it over onto the countertop. Then he showed me how to knead (揉) the dough (生面团), which took ten minutes and a surprising amount of energy.
Next came the most difficult and surprising part—doing nothing. We waited for more than an hour for the dough to slowly swell up and double in size. After that, we punched the risen dough down to let the air out, divided it in two and waited for another hour.
“It's hard to resist putting the dough directly into the oven, but if you do, the bread will be tough. The most important lesson of all is learning to be patient，” Dad explained.
While we waited, we sat and talked. Silence is a blank space that begs to be filled. It's like the dough—it swells up and fills a room with emptiness unless you punch it down with words. It felt good to be still and listen to each other. As the flour dust in the kitchen quietly settled, time seemed to slow down. The dough was going to rise at its own pace. As I accepted that, I stopped watching the clock and drumming my fingers on the tabletop. I started enjoying the quiet time with Dad. My father taught me how to bake bread, but I think I learned something more.
篇章导读：本文是一篇记叙文。文章主要讲述了爸爸通过教作者烤面包让作者懂得耐心的重要性。
28．Why did Dad ask the author to help in the kitchen
A．Dad liked baking bread with the author.
B．Dad wanted to help the author relieve the stress.
C．Dad intended to teach him a lesson.
D．Dad himself was under huge pressure.
答案：B
解析：推理判断题。根据第三段中的“Dad knew I was ... help in the kitchen.(爸爸知道我有压力。上星期六他说我该去厨房帮忙了。)”可推知，爸爸让作者去厨房帮忙是想让作者缓解压力。故选B。
29．What would fill the emptiness of blank space
A．Baking. B．Drumming.
C．Talking. D．Working.
答案：C
解析：细节理解题。根据最后一段中的“Silence is a blank space ... punch it down with words.(沉默是一个乞求被填满的空白。就像面团一样——膨胀起来，让整个房间充满空白，除非你用话语把它压下去。)”可知，说话可以填满空白。故选C。
30．What is the theme of the story
A．It is necessary to spend time with family.
B．It is difficult to learn to bake bread.
C．It is beneficial to relax in times of stress.
D．It is important to learn to be patient.

Walking down a path through some woods in Georgia, I saw a small pool of water ahead on the path. I angled my direction to go around it on the part of the path that wasn't covered by water or mud. As I reached the pool, I was suddenly attacked!
Yet I did nothing for the attack. It was so unpredictable and from somewhere totally unexpected. I was surprised as well as unhurt though I had been struck four or five times. I backed up a foot and my attacker stopped attacking me. Had I been hurt I wouldn't have found it amusing. And I was laughing. After all, I was being attacked by a butterfly!
Having stopped laughing, I took a step forward. My attacker rushed me again. He charged towards me at full speed, attempting to hurt me but in vain. For a second time, I took a step backwards while my attacker paused. I wasn't sure what to do. After all, it's just not every day that one is attacked by a butterfly. I stepped back to look the situation over. My attacker moved back to land on the ground. That's when I discovered why my attacker was charging me only moments earlier. He had a mate and she was dying.
Sitting close beside her, he opened and closed his wings as if to fan her. I could only admire the love and courage of that butterfly in his concern for his mate. He had taken it up on himself to attack me for his mate's sake, even though she was clearly dying and I was so large. He did so just to give her those extra few precious moments of life. Should I have been careless enough to step on her His courage in attacking something thousands of times larger and heavier than himself just for his mate's safety seemed admirable. I couldn't do anything other than reward him by walking on the more difficult side of the pool. He had truly earned those moments to be with her, undisturbed.
Since then, I've used that butterfly's courage as an inspiration and to remind myself that good things are worth fighting for.

Before we even realize it's happening, slowly but surely, we start losing confidence in who we are, what we do, and pretty much everything we ever thought we knew. You're not alone. __36__ Below are simple steps that it offers to help you restore confidence quickly.
Figure Out the Root Cause. Knowing why you're losing confidence is key to reversing that downward spiral. Not only will it get your confidence back but also it will strengthen it in the process. So, take the time to become aware of your environment, your thoughts, your behaviors, and your relationships. __37__
Strike a Pose. Simply put you stand straight, take up some space, put one hand on each hip, chin tilted upward, breathe in, and be present. Hold this pose for a few minutes. __38__ Our attitudes often follow our behaviors, her research suggests, meaning that assuming the body language of a powerful person can make anyone who does it feel more confident.
__39__ Losing confidence means you've given your power away. And one of the fastest ways to take back your power is to utter a tiny two letter word: NO. Practice saying “no” at least once a day. It can be to your own judgy voices of doubt, or it can be to the external factors you've identified that have caused you to lose confidence. It, along with these other suggestions, is very powerful steps in restoring your confidence.
Losing confidence in ourselves happens. __40__ I bet if you ask the people closest to you in your life, they'll shrug and nod, letting you know that they've experienced self doubt and a loss of confidence, too. It's part of being human and part of living this thing that we call life.
A．Just Say “No”．
B．You will benefit from it in the long term.
C．They may help you find out your mistakes.
D．It's happened to me on more than one occasion.
E．It's one of the power poses suggested by social psychologist Amy Cuddy.
F．In that case, you can identify the negative influences that need to be addressed.
G．According to the online therapy platform Better Health, everyone lacks confidence occasionally.

37．答案：F
解析：上文“So, take the time ... and your relationships.”建议花时间去了解你的环境、你的想法、你的行为和你的人际关系，F项(在这种情况下，你可以确定需要解决的负面影响。)承接上文，说明上文做法的好处。故选F。
38．答案：E
解析：上文“Strike a Pose ... Hold this pose for a few minutes.”提到摆一个姿势，下文“Our attitudes often follow ... feel more confident.”提到某个人对这个姿势的研究，故设空处应提及这个人物和这个姿势的关系，E项(这是社会心理学家艾米·卡迪提出的一种有力量的姿势。)承上启下，下文的her指代E项中的Amy Cuddy。故选E。
39．答案：A

The director discovered from the CV that the youth's academic achievements were excellent all the way, from the secondary school until the postgraduate research. Never did he have a year when he did not score.
The director asked, “Did you obtain any scholarships in school？” The youth answered, “None.”
The director asked, “Was it your father who paid for your school fees？” The youth answered, “My father passed away when I was one year old, so it was my mother who paid for all my school fees.”
The director asked, “What did your mother do？” The youth answered, “My mother worked as a clothes cleaner.” The director requested the youth to show his hands. The youth showed a pair of hands that were smooth and perfect.
The director asked, “Have you ever helped your mother wash the clothes before？” The youth answered, “Never. My mother always wanted me to study and read more books. Furthermore, my mother can wash clothes faster than me.”
The director said, “I have a request. When you go back today, go and clean your mother's hands, and then see me back here tomorrow morning.”
注意：
1．续写词数应为150个左右；
2．请按如下格式在相应位置作答。

[精彩范文]
Feeling his high chance of landing the job, when he went back home, the youth happily requested his mother to let him clean her hands. His mother felt strange but with mixed feelings, she showed her hands to the kid. It was the first time he had noticed that there were so many bruises in her hands. His tears fell as he cleaned her hands. This was the first time he had realized that it was the bruises in the mother's hands that were the price that the mother had to pay for his graduation, academic excellence and his future. After finishing the cleaning of his mother's hands, the youth quietly washed all the remaining clothes for his mother. That night, mother and son talked for a very long time. The next morning, the youth went to the director's office.
The director noticed the tears in the youth's eyes and asked, “What have you done and learned, young man？” The youth answered, “I cleaned my mother's hands, and also finished cleaning all the remaining clothes.” The director nodded, “Please tell me your feelings.” The youth said, “Firstly, I know now what appreciation is. Without my mother, there would not be the successful me today. Additionally, by working together and helping my mother, I now realize how difficult and tough it is to get something done. Ultimately, I have learned to appreciate the importance and value of family relationship.” The director smiled, “This is what I am looking for to be my manager. You are hired. Congratulations！”

This is the Lakewood Public Address System. This is not a test like the one we had last week. I repeat, this is not a test. The Western Hill Fire is spreading toward Lakewood much quicker than we had expected. Currently, we expect the fire to come within twenty miles of Lakewood by six o'clock this evening. We are therefore requiring all residents to leave this area immediately.
Springfield to the north, Point Cabina Station to the east, and Galveston to the south are all in the safe zone. It will take less than thirty minutes to drive to any of these towns. Take as many things as you can fit in your car, but do not delay. We have orders from the state police to make sure that the entire town of Lakewood is empty by five o'clock today. You have plenty of time to get all your family members, pets, and belongings together, so there is no need to panic. Stay calm, but get started as soon as possible.
17．When will the fire arrive close to Lakewood
A．By six o'clock in the evening.
B．By five o'clock in the evening.
C．By six o'clock in the morning.
18．Where shouldn't residents go to escape the fire
A．Springfield. B．Western Hill.
C．Point Cabina Station.
19．How long will it take residents to reach the safe zone
A．Less than ten minutes.
B．Less than twenty minutes.
C．Less than thirty minutes.
20．What are residents advised to do before they leave
A．Leave all pets behind.
B．Stay calm and do not panic.
C．Tell the state police where they are going.

Today's teens are still going through the same physical and emotional transitions (过渡) older generations had, but they're also burdened with pressures we never could have imagined even several years ago—from the cruel separation caused by social media to the terrifying impact of climate change. In the face of all this, how can teens overcome these challenges While there're no simple answers to this question, part of the way forward is learning self compassion.
Self compassion means treating yourself with kindness and support when you're having a hard time, being aware of difficult emotions and recognizing they're a normal part of life. This may sound like no big deal, but actually, most of us do the opposite. When something's happened that makes us feel bad, for example, we tend to be overly self critical, often assuming that whatever happened was our fault.
In a recently published study, my colleagues and I taught one group of teens the Mindful Self Compassion for Teens (MSC T) program. Eight sessions were designed to help them be more supportive and compassionate to themselves. Another group learned a healthy lifestyle course that included sessions on nutrition, exercise, sleep and healthy social media use.
In our study, all the teens were exhibiting some anxious symptoms. The results showed that after six months, teens in the self compassion group were over 2.5 times less likely to develop full blown anxiety compared to teens in the healthy lifestyle group, suggesting the self compassion course protected the teens from getting more anxious.
Although we can't determine how self compassion is protective, we suspect it has to do with teens developing an understanding of common humanity. In one class, a teen said, “Whatever you're feeling, you're not alone in it. Somebody else will feel the same way, and will know where you're coming from.”
Self compassion won't solve all teens' problems. But it'll give them a new way to approach their problems without blaming themselves. As one teen said to me after taking a self compassion course, “You know, it's changed the way I look at myself and the world.” And that can make all the difference.
篇章导读：本文是一篇说明文。一项新的研究发现，青少年学会自我同情和善待自己有助于缓解焦虑。
24．What do most people tend to do when having a hard time
A．They criticize others. B．They seek support.
C．They remain normal. D．They blame themselves.
解析：细节理解题。根据第二段中的“When something's happened ... whatever happened was our fault.(例如，当发生了让我们感觉不好的事情时，我们往往会过度自我批评，经常认为发生的一切都是我们的错。)”可知，大多数人在遇到困难的时候都会责怪自己。故选D。
25．How did the author and his colleagues mainly draw their conclusion
A．By making comparisons. B．By listing numbers.
C．By quoting sayings. D．By presenting examples.
解析：推理判断题。根据第四段中的“The results showed that ... the teens from getting more anxious.(结果显示，六个月后，自我同情组的青少年发展为全面焦虑的可能性比健康生活方式组的青少年低2.5倍以上，这表明自我同情课程保护青少年免于变得更加焦虑。)”可推知，作者和同事是通过对比自我同情组的青少年和另一组健康生活方式组青少年的行为表现来得出结论的。故选A。
26．How can self compassion affect teens in the author's opinion
A．It helps develop kindness in them.
B．It can give them a new viewpoint.
C．It gets them to take care of others.
D．It makes them emotionally weaker.
解析：推理判断题。根据最后一段中的“But it'll give them a new way ... the way I look at myself and the world.’(但这会给他们一种新的方式来解决问题，而不用责怪自己。一个青少年在参加了自我同情课程后对我说：‘你知道，它改变了我看待自己和世界的方式。’)”可推知，自我同情可以给青少年一个新的视角，帮助他们解决问题。故选B。
27．Which of the following is the best title for the text
A．How Can Teenagers Get Over Challenges in Life
B．How Is Self Compassion Used to Fight Loneliness
C．Can Self Compassion Help Teens With Anxiety
D．Is Guiding the Teen Years Harder Than Before
解析：标题判断题。文章围绕一项关于青少年的研究展开，该研究表明青少年学会自我同情和善待自己有助于缓解焦虑。因此，C项(自我同情能帮助焦虑的青少年吗？)最适合作为文章标题。故选C。
C
My dad is a car mechanic, which involves lots of heavy lifting, tightening, shaking, and banging. He doesn’t seem like the kind of guy who would bake great bread, but he is and he does. The shop where Dad works is not equipped with enough workers, so there’s lots of pressure on Dad.
I've been feeling kind of stressed out myself since I found out I didn't qualify for the swim team. Now I'll have to wait a whole year to try out again; that might as well be a million years.
Dad knew I was feeling pressure. Last Saturday he said it was time for me to help in the kitchen. I couldn't imagine what help I could offer. Still, I followed right behind him.
Dad gave me an apron, got out his enormous stainless steel mixing bowl, and told me to stir while he added the ingredients. When I had stirred the flour and milk mixture into a thick lump (块), Dad had me turn it over onto the countertop. Then he showed me how to knead (揉) the dough (生面团), which took ten minutes and a surprising amount of energy.
Next came the most difficult and surprising part—doing nothing. We waited for more than an hour for the dough to slowly swell up and double in size. After that, we punched the risen dough down to let the air out, divided it in two and waited for another hour.
“It's hard to resist putting the dough directly into the oven, but if you do, the bread will be tough. The most important lesson of all is learning to be patient，” Dad explained.
While we waited, we sat and talked. Silence is a blank space that begs to be filled. It's like the dough—it swells up and fills a room with emptiness unless you punch it down with words. It felt good to be still and listen to each other. As the flour dust in the kitchen quietly settled, time seemed to slow down. The dough was going to rise at its own pace. As I accepted that, I stopped watching the clock and drumming my fingers on the tabletop. I started enjoying the quiet time with Dad. My father taught me how to bake bread, but I think I learned something more.

Walking down a path through some woods in Georgia, I saw a small pool of water ahead on the path. I angled my direction to go around it on the part of the path that wasn’t covered by water or mud. As I reached the pool, I was suddenly attacked!
Yet I did nothing for the attack. It was so unpredictable and from somewhere totally unexpected. I was surprised as well as unhurt though I had been struck four or five times. I backed up a foot and my attacker stopped attacking me. Had I been hurt I wouldn't have found it amusing. And I was laughing. After all, I was being attacked by a butterfly!
Having stopped laughing, I took a step forward. My attacker rushed me again. He charged towards me at full speed, attempting to hurt me but in vain. For a second time, I took a step backwards while my attacker paused. I wasn't sure what to do. After all, it's just not every day that one is attacked by a butterfly. I stepped back to look the situation over. My attacker moved back to land on the ground. That's when I discovered why my attacker was charging me only moments earlier. He had a mate and she was dying.
Sitting close beside her, he opened and closed his wings as if to fan her. I could only admire the love and courage of that butterfly in his concern for his mate. He had taken it up on himself to attack me for his mate's sake, even though she was clearly dying and I was so large. He did so just to give her those extra few precious moments of life. Should I have been careless enough to step on her His courage in attacking something thousands of times larger and heavier than himself just for his mate's safety seemed admirable. I couldn't do anything other than reward him by walking on the more difficult side of the pool. He had truly earned those moments to be with her, undisturbed.
Since then, I've used that butterfly's courage as an inspiration and to remind myself that good things are worth fighting for.

The director asked, “Have you ever helped your mother wash the clothes before？” The youth answered, “Never. My mother always wanted me to study and read more books. Furthermore, my mother can wash clothes faster than me.”

After finishing the cleaning of his mother's hands, the youth quietly washed all the remaining clothes for his mother. That night, mother and son talked for a very long time. The next morning, the youth went to the director's office.
The director noticed the tears in the youth’s eyes and asked, “What have you done and learned, young man？”The youth answered, “I cleaned my mother’s hands, and also finished cleaning all the remaining clothes.” The director nodded, “Please tell me your feelings.” The youth said, “Firstly, I know now what appreciation is. Without my mother, there would not be the successful me today. Additionally, by working together and helping my mother, I now realize how difficult and tough it is to get something done. Ultimately, I have learned to appreciate the importance and value of family relationship.”The director smiled, “This is what I am looking for to be my manager. You are hired. Congratulations！”
